Cube ice maker

Product Overview
The Tamutom 15,000 kg/day direct cooling block ice machine is an industrial, fully automatic system designed for high-demand operations such as fisheries and regional ice distributors. It is engineered for continuous operation to secure the cold chain for capture, storage and long-distance transport.

Key Features and Commercial Benefits

• 15,000 kg/day ice production capacity
• Continuous industrial operation
• Fully automatic cycle management
• Faster freezing cycle and reduced labor needs
• Durable block ice suitable for long-distance transport

The Real Problem
Growing fishery and distribution operations face critical cold-chain constraints that limit volume, quality and market reach.

• Daily catch and throughput increase
• On-site storage capacity becomes critical
• Transport distances and times grow

Consequences If Ice Production Is Insufficient

• Decline in product quality
• Higher product losses and waste
• Inability to expand into distant markets

The Solution: Tamutom 15 Ton Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine
The Tamutom system transforms ice supply from a constraint into a business enabler by providing stable, high-capacity production.

• 15,000 kg/day production capacity
• Continuous, fully automatic operation
• Fast and uniform ice formation for consistent product quality

How Direct Cooling Works
Direct cooling circulates refrigerant around the moulds so ice forms more quickly and uniformly than in brine systems:

• Refrigerant circulates directly around the moulds
• Faster and more uniform ice formation
• No saltwater tanks required

Result

• Higher production rates
• Cleaner ice with lower contamination risk
• Simpler operation and maintenance

Why Direct Cooling Is Better Than Brine System

• Speed advantage: faster production cycles
• Energy efficiency: lower energy consumption per tonne
• Automation: no manual mould handling
• Hygiene: reduced contamination risks
• Ease of operation: no saltwater preparation or disposal

Block Ice vs Flake Ice (Comparison)

• Flake ice: fast cooling, soft structure, melts faster, typical temperature −5°C to −8°C
• Block ice: hard structure, long melting time, ideal for transport, core temperature around −15°C

Real Use Case Scenario
Regional fish distributor before: limited reach, unstable ice supply, high losses. After installing Tamutom 15,000 kg/day: stable daily production, extended transport range, access to larger markets and regional scaling.

Key Advantages of Tamutom System

• 15,000 kg/day production capacity
• Direct cooling technology
• Fully automatic operation
• Accelerated freezing cycles
• Low labor requirement
• Durable, long-lasting block ice

Frequently Asked Questions
